The Arctis Nova 5's are an AMAZING headset. Plenty of battery life, comfortable, breathable, and exceptional mic quality.

Excellent headset for everyday use. I play on PC and the seamless connection and ease of use is spectacular. The steelseries software is also quick easy to work with. Overall i love the weight and feel and the battery last a long while too.

This is the second Steele series I’ve used. I have the corded version at home and these wireless one at work and they both perform perfectly. Ear muffs are comfy, the adjustable elastic band makes long sessions a breeze. Battery life is more than I could ask for.

lightweight. Very comfortable for long-term use. Great sound.
The only con I have is the dongle is kind of weird and I feel like if you bump it, it could break

Was initially going to purchase the Arctis 7 but realized they were pretty much the same headsets. Overall happy with the sound quality and build. Battery life is a plus

I had a chance to play around with these and use them for my laptop for various uses from multimedia to WI-FI calling, video chats and dictation software.
QUALITY-COMFORT
The quality of the headphones seems to be very durable and has a nice weight to it. The Headband part seems flexible and sturdy, the cloth strap underneath makes for a secure and comfortable fit. I have not come across another strap design and it seems like it would be uncomfortable but it was snug and secure.
The fabric on the earcups is very soft and plush, it sits comfortable and the design of the band make it so that they do not pinch. I did not suffer ear fatigue or hot/sweaty sensation after a few hours.
The retractable MIC is very nice and it actually works without having to pull out the MIC. It is activated as soon as you turn on the headphones and connect. The quality of the MIC isn't muffled and the reproduced sound is overall good. When gaming I use the extension on the MIC and it does a better job of picking up the sound but you get a little distorted effect if too close to your mouth.
The supplied volume wheel is a nice throwback touch, it reduces the fumbling of touch panel controls on the side of the headphones. The wheel makes it easy tyo quickly lower and raise the volume without incident.
CONNECTION
This is where the deduction of stars occurs for me. The connection via 2.4 suffers for me, there are times i switch media and the sound is distorted and it takes about 5-10seconds for it to stabilize again. This happens everytime i switch media and it also happens when i initially connect the headphones too. I switch over to bluetooth and the connection is better but it always takes a few taps of the switch to get it to connect. I wish it had an auto connect feature when a paired device is turned on within proximity of the headphones but it does not.
OVERALL
The whole point is the sound and connection and if that is a hassle and does not provide a clear connection everytime then this is a big minus.

This is a fantastic sounding headset with software to allow you to change EQ settings whether on your PC or mobile app. Mic sounded great from what feedback I got in games I played. Unfortunately comfort may be hit or miss. Personally for me the headset felt good on my head but the cups didn't feel right so had to return them for something with more of a breathable material. Overall I would recommend this headset for the quality and performance but keep in mind if you have specific fabrics or material that are not comfortable for you. This will either be the perfect headset for you or fall short of perfection due to comfort.

I don't know too much about gaming headset, but since I found Steelseries product they provide a good product and software quality and easy to use, especially with this headphone they are light and compact, the bass sounds pretty good you can also use on your phone and personalize the audio with an app.

I have only ever used 2 other headsets prior to this one and it was a cheap turtle beach for like 20 bucks and then I went to the Astro A10 1st Gen. By far this is the best headset I have used in both quality of the material, how good I sound to my friends, and comfortability. If you have a little bit of a higher budget to go over the 100 dollar range I would HIGHLY recommended these

Love this headset! Sound is great and super comfortable. I like that the microphone tucks away and the style of the headset is minimalistic. Doesn’t scream “gaming”

Best headset I have ever had for work. Fantastic battery life, very long range. I can freely walk around during meetings anywhere in mouse house and even in the yard. The mute button is very handy, I love the red mute indicator in the mike. The noise cancellation is suprisingly great also -- others in meetings connot hear most backgroud noise.

The built quality of these is solid. They’re not too heavy. The sound quality is great and the mic is just what you need for office use. Depending on your head there will be some fatigue wearing for long time due to the clamping force. However, due to the price I will say these are great headphones overall.
